Cheep and cheerful ! A little dated and close to hwy BUT - VERY clean and comfy
The room is clean recently painted nice bed. Unfortunately the air conditioner was making a terrible noise so we couldn’t sleep very well, but if they get that fixed, it would be great.

Room was clean but could do with an upgrade. Externally the place could do with a tidy up and looks a bit tired. Good location close to the lake.
Just what we needed after a 774 km ride, close to pub for a feed, beds were comfortable .

Disliked: Amenities
Room was clean and inviting once inside, however the beds and pillows were really hard and uncomfortable , no information was found regarding local dinning or attractions in the room and check in while fast was somewhat lacking in assistance with dinning options or other hospitality
The property was reasonably priced and was in a convenient location close to shops and the park. A microwave was provided which was a nice surprise and let us heat up our own dinner.
I have stayed here before and for the price it was excellent value for a clean spacious room.
While the Ensuite was narrow the shower was wonderfully hot!
